Chapter 559 - I Really Can (2/2)

Seeing her pale face, Roland knew that he got carried away. He recalled his mental power and said, “Even if Marilyn were willing to go with you, and you’re sincerely hoping to take her back to your clan, I’ll still advise her to think carefully.”

Maromatha slightly lowered her head and clutched her gray magic robe. “I won’t do anything that will harm her. I really want to take her back.”

“Even though you’re doing this out of good will,” Roland continued, “can you promise that Marilyn’s life will be better after she returns to your clan? Will she have a place to live? Can she find a job to provide for herself? Will she be bullied by others? After all, she’s an ‘outsider.”

The black-haired catgirl was stunned by the series of questions.

After a long time, she stuttered and said, “I’ve never thought of those things before… But I think we can overcome the problems.”

Roland slightly shook his head. “Don’t be blinded by your passion. Your good will may mean trouble for others. While I can’t promise much, I can at least guarantee a safe and decent life if Marilyn stays in my place.”

Maromatha had no doubt about that.

Ever since she came to the Red Magic Tower, many people had been eying her in weird ways.

Some were lewd, some were greedy, and some were excited to see prey. If she hadn’t worn a magic robe that showed her identity, chances were that she would’ve already been harassed.

However, she sensed something different when she chased Marilyn.

When Marilyn, another catgirl, ran on the street, human beings looked at her with wariness, if not fear.

It meant that Marilyn could be quite renowned in this place.

How could a catgirl who wasn’t a Mage be renowned?

The only possibility was that the person behind Marilyn was very influential. As a result, she was protected by the man’s influence.

After learning that there was a catgirl in this place, Maromatha investigated Roland and learned how strong he was from the intelligence dealers.

Not only was the man endorsed by the Great Elder of the Red Magic Tower, he was also a super genius who crushed his fellow classmates on the first day of school.

Even the mentors below the level of Legendary stood a slim chance of winning in a battle against him.

“I…” Maromatha was unwilling to give up yet, but she couldn’t find any arguments for her rebuttal. After a long time, she heaved a long sigh. “Let’s leave Marilyn aside for now, Mr. Roland. I’m here as a representative of the Monochrome Magic Tower. Before I came, my mentor instructed me to ask you a few questions.” So, she was from the Monochrome Magic Tower.

Roland was slightly surprised.

Catgirls were more suitable as Rogues and Assassins. It wasn’t easy for them to learn magic, not to mention that spatial magic was the school of magic that was the second hardest to learn.

Yet, this catgirl was almost a Master. She must’ve been quite gifted.

“The Monochrome Magic Tower has always been close to the Red Magic Tower. Feel free to ask me anything,” said Roland with a smile.

“Our traitor was capable of teleportation. How did you catch him?”

Roland was quite proud of that. “Did the mentors of the Red Magic Tower not tell you that?”

“No!” Maromatha shook her head, and her short hair wiggled and reflected the sunlight like soft silk. “We only received a short message: ‘He’s been caught. Come here!””

That was the Great Elder’s classic style.

Roland didn’t think that the arrest was anything extraordinary, or that it had to be kept confidential. So, he simply confessed, “I know Dimensional Anchor.” “But so does the traitor,” said Maromatha in confusion. “He’s a specialist in spatial magic, whereas you major in evoking magic. Even though you studied spatial magic too, you couldn’t have been stronger than the traitor. He should’ve had enough time to escape before your Dimensional Anchor took shape.”

“Oh, my Dimensional Anchor was instantly

cast.”

“Even an instant cast will still take some time…” Maromatha was suddenly stunned. “Wait, what? You can instantly cast Dimensional Anchor?”

Roland nodded.

“Are you serious?” Maromatha pressed her temples hard. “Are my ears deceiving me because I’m too tired? You’re just a Master Mage. How can you possibly instantly cast Dimensional Anchor? It’s something that only the Legendary Mage who specializes in spatial magic can do.”

“But I really can.”

“That’s impossible…”

Roland secretly heaved a sigh. Unwilling to continue the boring argument, he snapped his fingers.

The air twisted, and several transparent chains darted out from the void into the mud, fixating the space nearby.

“It’s really an instant cast…” The cat ears above Maromatha’s head trembled a couple of times. She gazed at the nearest chain for a long time, before she finally came back to herself and asked, “And you don’t need any materials for the spell?”

“Magic Material Exemption is my personal talent.”

The catgirl was again stunned for a long time. Eventually, she finally asked, “What my mentor wanted to ask is this. Since you caught the traitor, you must have ways to deal with him. So, can you help escort him to the Spatial Magic Tower?”
